6 bedroom, 3 bath, 3006 sq foot, Solid and comfortable Ranch Style home with full basement, needs minor siding, paint and yard work. Exceptionally well built. Owner will discount the sale price for a buyer who would prefer to earn some sweat equity, and make things exactly the way they want them. Arapahoe County Tax valuation is $197,600, which could be $20K to 40K too low as compared to fair market value of semi-comparable homes in this general area.

 

 

Sale Price: Make Offer. I am willing to credit/refund up to about $10K for minor work needed on the house and yard toward the down payment

At todays 5% or less fixed mortgage rate for a 30 year loan, that could be well under $900/mo for a great piece of real estate, an investment and a beautiful home. If you contact me directly, you will save on real estate commissions, which goes to your bottom line equity right off the bat. And mortgage interest is deductible from your income tax, which means more money in your pocket, effectively offsetting part of the mortgage payment.

Features:

1503 sq foot per level, 6 bedrooms (3 each level, one in basement unfinished), 3 bathroom (3/4 in master suite at ground level, one full bath at ground level in main hallway, 3/4 in basement), Kitchen with bar, Dining Room, Living Room, Den, 2 basement Family/Rec Rooms, Storage area, Fireplace in den at ground level, swamp cooler, wood stove in basement rec room, natural gas forced air heating system, double pane windows, 2 Car Garage, Recreational Vehicle parking with power hookup, oversize driveway, front yard, back yard with landscaping and a 30 year old organic garden, Xeriscaped yard (important, uses virtually no water), trees including a small apple tree and a native plum, large back yard, fence, covered front porch, covered back patio with active hot tub, and producing grapevine arbor. Shed in yard needs work. Broadband Internet and Cable TV already in use, wired for up to 6 phone lines. New Kenmore Washer & Dryer, New Water Heater, Large side by side refrigerator/freezer, large chest freezer, and huge upright freezer in garage. No one has ever smoked in this home.

This wonderful home built in 1974 is on an oversize corner lot in a quiet and friendly family neighborhood.  The immediate neighbors are great, both tolerant and helpful. The yard backs onto the Meadowood Park strip just off the citywide bicycle path. Unlike most of the Denver area, there is no destructive bentonite clay anywhere near this house, and drainage is great since it is on a sand hill. Flooding or shifting foundation damage are a non-issue now or ever. Roof should be good for at least 7-10 more years. One or both basement recreation rooms could easily be converted to more bedrooms for an extra large family if desired. Imagine a 10-11 bedroom house with plenty of living space for under $200,000. Energy costs for this home are unusually low all year around.

Located in the Aurora School District, but borders on Cherry Creek School District, one of the best in the country, close enough to walk to Cherry Creek Bus stop. Pre-school less than a block, elementary school 2 blocks, and Middle School also within easy walking distance (under a mile). Easy access to freeway system, bus routes, and any kind of store you could want is within a mile or two.

The only undesirable activity in this area since we’ve owned the home (1988) has been that teenagers have toilet papered trees at graduation a couple of times, eggs were thrown at our window once, and our mailbox got hit by someone with a baseball bat once… that’s it.

Owner willing to rent back basement for a short time, and also RV parking while moving out if you want to take possession and move in immediately. Owner is currently living primarily in the basement leaving the main floor available. Owner loves this area, so may be willing to rent RV parking again any time we come back to Denver if you are open to this. Owner is also willing to leave behind appliances, a substantial amount of furniture, shelving, and perhaps even electronics, or make a deal to sell them together on Ebay or via garage sales if buyer is so inclined and owner has not done so already. This alone could save/earn a first time home buyer 20K or more.
